[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 396926, member: 7544"] Had something very similar happen to me once. I also discovered that if I would put the tank up on the bench with me (raise the tank) the issue went away. Long story short, the o-ring in the fuel connector at the engine was worn and when the pump pulled hard enough, it would suck air in. Raising the level of the tank/fuel let it draw the fuel into the pump easier, (sort of like siphoning). Solution in my case was to replace the o-ring but yours could be similar or a just a weak fuel pump. Hope that helps or at least gives you some ideas of things to check. [/QUOTE]
